Hi ladies,
So my boyfriend and I have been struggling with our relationship for a little while now. When we first met, everything was great then I ended up pregnant not even a year later and I couldn’t really work because I had just horrible nausea and morning sickness. So for the entire time that I was pregnant, he paid the rent the entire time I think it was about Three months into our 15 month lease is when he started paying the rent by himself cause I just couldn’t work and stuff and the stuff kind of job that I was doing, I was an independent contractor, so it’s not like I could get any kind of assistance in anyway as far as With the bills from anyone. So fast forward to we have the baby and everything we moved into a new place and I ended up rejoining the Postal Service, but to be honest I haven’t gotten the hours that I thought I was going to get. I managed to get about one day if not, two days a week. So my funds has just never been there, and I have not been able to afford my portion of the rent, but everything else like our car note, our car insurance, the Wi-Fi bill, the power bill, I’ve been able to pay all those things on my own. And when you add those up, it comes out to be more than half of my portion of the rent. But it just doesn’t seem to be good enough for him. So I started donating plasma and I told him whatever I made throughout the entire month, I would give it to him at the end of the month to contribute towards the rent. So we had a conversation earlier today and he told me that he was serious about us going our separate ways at the end of the lease in October because he was tired of paying the rent on his own and he was tired of me not paying anything. I’m upset and emotional about it because I’ve invested almost 3 years into this relationship, literally blood sweat and tears into this relationship and I’ve had countless amount of conversations with him and he’s never been responsive when it comes to these conversations all of a sudden he has so much to say today about what he wants. So I need The decision to literally not pay a single bill this month or for any of the months moving forward since he says that I don’t pay anything now you get to pay everything. I am just preparing myself to support me and my boys so I will door dash, try and pick up more hours from work and also do spark to start to save my money and stack my money to prepare myself for moving day. How can I move forward from something like this?

If he does leave, file for child support as a first step. I am assuming you probably do most of the child care and caring for the hlme and chores. To me, this seems he is thinking about something else entirely new (he could possibly be interested in someone else)and is looking for an excuse to leave
I do everything Kelsey. He’s not wanting to be with anyone else, he’s not like that. He’s a gambler so when his money starts to deplete from paying the rent, it’s a problem that’s honestly what it is
